Fabrico’s Durable Transformer Labels
Provide the Industry’s Highest Level of
Safety Assurance and Product Identification
Fabrico, the leader in design and manufacturing services for flexible materials and
advanced assembly, now offers high-quality, durable labels for the three common types of
transformers; liquid filled, dry and instrument. Each transformer typically has four general
groups of labels; Danger or Warning labels, Instructional labels, Voltage labels and Serial
Number labels. Fabrico can also produce custom logo or company name labels for use in
brand identification or decoration. All of these label types may also be useful on power
inverters, power generation and other pieces of industrial equipment.
Why Use Transformer Danger or Warning Labels?
Unfortunately, transformer accidents can be deadly and are all too common. A poorly marked
transformer cabinet that has been broken open can also be a danger to anyone nearby. Our
transformer Danger or Warning labels are designed to help keep children and others away from
transformers at all times. In addition, Fabrico’s transformer labels with customized company
information and identification codes allow the public to easily contact service personnel to report
this deadly hazard. Finally, because Fabrico transformer labels utilize a durable vinyl material
with an acrylic adhesive, the high bonding strength of the adhesive allows for long term bonding
with difficult bond epoxy and ceramic-coated surfaces.
How Do Instructional Labels Benefit Both
Transformer Manufacturers and Users?
Many of the hazards of working on a transformer can be reduced by utilizing the information
available on Instructional labels. These types of labels are typically placed on the transformer
or cabinet in areas that are clearly visible to qualified persons. These labels should be reviewed
prior to examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance of any transformer assembly.
Instructional labels can be further customized to include a company name, logo, bar codes or
part numbers. Fabrico utilizes a durable vinyl label material with an acrylic adhesive to ensure
long term durability and high level of adhesion to epoxy and ceramic-coated surfaces that are
often used on transformer units.

What is the Benefit of High
Strength Adhesives on
Transformer Voltage Labels?
Selecting the Right Converter
Voltage markers quickly identify high voltage and electrical hazards, as well as
the label type, such as pressure-sensitive, that works best for their application

panels and other electrical components. They alert employees to potentially
labels can last for decades even in the harshest conditions, such as chemical
dangerous machinery or energized equipment. Fabrico provides nearly 400

ensuring that these mission critical labels will remain in place.

therefore, material systems are designed to optimize production efficiency and
improve overall cost-effectiveness.
Quality Control
With a fully equipped test lab, Fabrico ensures that customer materials meet
designed-in specs before they leave the factory floor, often eliminating the
need to test materials on the customer end. Fabrico uses its laboratory to test
adhesion, tensile, and dielectric strengths, as well as coat weight, resistance,
capacitance, and voltage measurements. Fabrico’s test and measurement
equipment is calibrated annually per the ISO standard.
Why are Serial Number Labels
Important in Transformer Assemblies?
About Fabrico
Transformers occasionally need servicing and, when they do, tracking that
materials. Fabrico has developed a track record of solving unique challenges
